Both interpreting and translation presuppose acertain love of language and deep knowledge of more thanone tongue.

You note that your son is going to adolescence and feel thatthis explains his behavior. Adolescence is about gainingsome independence, not about being rude and belligerent.Keep your expectations high. Someday, your son will wantto get his first job and it could be very well be at the fast foodrestaurant. To get that job, he not only has to be courteous,even as an adolescent, but he has to be courteous to thepeople he doesnt like, to the customers who annoy him. Sodont accept rudeness from him. Anytime, he speaksimpolitely, correct him and insist he start over.

Once you sons behavior is better controlled decide on a place where youwant to take your children. Make it a place where you can go for a shorttime, such as the grocery store or a restaurant. Have them practice

appropriate behaviors at home first. Expect your eldest son to be a rolemodel for his siblings. He should be the first person to hold a door openfor others, and to offer his help whenever needed. Once your childrenknow how the are required to behave, challenge them to do it out in public.Dont forget to plan ahead for any boring time at a restaurant, etc. bytaking along toys or coloring books. Remember the old saying, Idlehands are the devils workshop. If you make it only a short trip out inpublic, your children should do well. If you wish, you can celebrate their

success by taking them somewhere special afterward or buying them aspecial treat. This isnt the same as bribing them. Remember that thismust be spontaneous. Never get involved in deal-making or negotiatingand dont allow begging.

Language Point :

1. To wish : inginharap
